About Retuperän WBK

RETUPERÄN WBK, The Retuperä Voluntary Fire Brigade Band, is indubitably the world's best newer-French-horn-music-playing technology student orchestra from Aalto University in Espoo. Retuperän WBK was founded in 1933 - coincidentally, very soon after prohibition was lifted. In its first performance in 1933, Retuperä played classic melodies on old brass horns (purchased by the kilogram) and performed oratory feats as well as gymnastics. Throughout its existence, Retuperän WBK has made its mission to cause disapproval among the serious-minded. Retuperän WBK consists of more or less than seven chemically enhanced fire fighters. In the musical output of these courageous individuals one can easily point out the hand-picked and carefully placed correct notes within the constant flow of controlled chaos. This gives Retuperän WBK a distinctive quality that other orchestras can only attempt to emulate. Due to the stochastic nature of each of Retuperän WBK's performances, the audience and sometimes even the musicians themselves are stunned by the outcome. During its history, Retuperän WBK has become known for keeping spirits high. In fact, spirits are kept on the highest shelves.
